Topics regarding layoffs
at Fidelity Investments

I got the axe already and was laid off at the end of 2017. I got a call this morning that more people have gotten the axe already at the beginning of 2018 and will be leaving in March. It seems that Fidelity has been laying off people in small groups...

The company cut headcount in anticipation of a market drop. Instead, the market screamed ahead. Trump just gave Abby a giant tax cut, which will probably net her many billions of dollars. No additional bonus. And, just watch, no additional money in...

I've been seeing January mentioned as the month of layoffs at Fidelity, but nobody gives any details on where the information came from. Anybody knows if this is something that we should worry about, or just another unsubstantiated rumor? Any info...

A customer here. My company has a busy board on fiolettsk.ru too.... You need to put some money into upgrading their server performance. You continue to have unexplained system failures. It's a fundamental leadership breakdown or your tech folks...

I saw somebody mention a possibility of getting ahead of PIP by offering to take a severance package. Is this an actual possibility? Has anybody who has been put on PIP actually tried and succeeded in doing this? Sounds a little too good to be true...

I am 51 and have always had outstanding performance reviews and suddenly everything I do is being questioned. I was told the things I am not doing (nor is anyone else in my department) is an issue. I was given until 1/2/18 to turn it around, along...

This used to be a great company to work for but now with the ridiculous expectations, bonus cuts, minimal to no raises and rumored layoffs it is hard to plan for the future here. It seems no one's job is safe at any level or department. Layoffs seem...

Anyone know what consulting group is engaged for the purpose of investigating and helping with the s-xual allegations and corporate culture scandals at Fidelity. Inquiring minds want to know...

Earlier this year Fidelity offered a voluntary buyout to 3000 people over the age 55. Of that about 1500 took the voluntary buyout. Then they had round 2 (laying off 450) and 3 (unknown number) of RIF's and picked up nearly everyone that turned down...

Have to think the combine IT groups moved into EI back in Feb./Mar. 2017 will have to shrink as large cost cutting was the primary goal moving Prod Support and Security into centralized teams. Not sure enough attrition has or will occur as most...

Individuals getting laid off is a whole lot different than a wide-scale RIF. It happens all the time. No one has promised to work for Fidelity for free for the rest of their lives, so the organizaton has to make decisions about who to hire and what...

Considering that the large majority of those laid off are 50 or over, I was wondering if a class action based on ageism against Fidelity would be a possibility. My wife is one those who were laid off, and she said that in her department there is...

My location was spared yesterday, but I've been sitting here on pins and needles today thinking that maybe it was just a reprieve and they will continue with layoffs. Not much mentioned here on the board, so that's good news, I guess. Anybody knows...

I guess they didn't get enough older workers to take the earlier retirement, so they got many of them in this second round. Fidelity is a very profitable company that is just kicking older workers to the street and throwing in a few younger ones too...

SIAP but sounds like there is an internal audit where they are reviewing employee reimbursements submitted. From what I heard people have already been let go. Not sure if this is ongoing or not, but just an FYI

I’ve been with this company for almost 17 years. I have worked in Merrimack, Covington, and currently in Westlake. I turn 50 later this week and I assume that my time is up. This company acts like they want to recruit people who want to spend their...

My role is now cleaning up the mess that newbies make. I get the feeling that no one really knows what they are doing and five reps will give five different answers to the same question. They merged all the service roles which just makes matters...

I am getting really tired of looming layoffs, especially since due to my age I know that sooner rather than later I will be among those let go. I am nearing my fifties, and we all know that's a death knell for staying employed with Fidelity. I am...

You've all long been overpaid at Fido for a long time. Blackrock robo-investing. Writing on the wall. This is the future. You've had more stability than anybody else in any other industry in the Boston area I know already. Before you start flaming...

Heads up if you've ever fudged on your expense report or any of the reimbursement programs. About a hundred people were pulled this week from investigations over wrongful reimbursements. It's definitely a wrong thing to do but those who were licensed...
